@cliffordbeshers I didn’t find out what eats orb-weaver spiders on Wikipedia, but I found this:
In 2009, workers at a Baltimore wastewater treatment plant called for help to deal with over 100 million orb-weaver spiders, living in a community that managed to spin a phenomenal web that covered some 4 acres of a building, with spider densities in some areas reaching 35,176 spiders per cubic meter.
